Last Sunday, Mark invited me to help serve dinner at Tent City. A number of _________ had been set up for the homeless in the area.

My husband was not available to _________ our two sons, so I took 9-year-old Tony and 5-year-old Toby with me. Many of the people we _________ had missing teeth or wore dirty clothes. My sons had a lot of questions as what they saw challenged their _________ ideas about how people lived in the world.

"Why don't they buy food _________ us?" "Why don't they have homes?"…

We talked about the _________ why people ended up in that type of situation. And I mentioned the importance of creating a safety net for them, " Sometimes the safety net is other people who can share some of their time and resources（资源）," I _________.

I was _________ that my boys would make too much noise. But to my _________, the people we served were quite thankful that I had brought them. Many said how fun it was to have __________ children around.

After dinner, I saw Tony sit together with several elderly men. He was __________ them talk about sports. To be honest, I had __________ realized that he was such a good listener. __________ some people returned to their tents, I heard Tony say to them, "Thanks so much for having dinner with us." I could see that his simple words had __________ them greatly. I hugged him a little tighter（更紧的）because what he said had touched me too. It was a great reminder that treating people with __________ can lift all of us up.

Yesterday was Monday. Class Eleven had a special meeting in the afternoon. The topic was about their terrible experiences last week. Here are some of them.

Last Friday morning, I left home at half past six. I thought I could get to school on time. However my bike broke down halfway. I fell down and hurt my right leg. I also left my homework at home, which made my teacher very angry, I thought it was my worst day.

Last Thursday afternoon, we had a math test. When I finished my paper, I carelessly dropped it onto the ground. There was some dirty water, and my paper got dirty. Although I was given another clean paper, half of the test time had passed. Finally I only got a D in my math test.

Last Friday afternoon, I played volleyball with some of my classmates against the students from No.5 Middle School. Although we didn’t have good players, we had teamwork. However, I fell down and hurt my left leg in the game. As a result, we lost the game.

Last Wednesday afternoon, I hurried home with my heavy schoolbag. When I got near to the door, my schoolbag broke and dropped onto my right foot. It was so painful that I cried at once. No matter how sad I felt, nobody came to cheer me up. My parents were both out.

Lots of kids hate school，a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long.But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it．

If you don't like school，the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends，or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind，and it may seem like you'll never catch up.

Zhou Yan, a Junior 3 student, wishes he never got a mobile phone. Last week, he went to see a doctor because his arms and fingers were injured. The doctor told him that he had “mobile phone disease”. A growing number of teenagers are getting “mobile phone disease” because more of them are using mobile phones.

Zhou got his mobile phone five months ago. He sent messages to his friends with it all the time, even when going to bed. Zhou started to do badly in the exams because he spent so much time playing with his mobile phone. His mother got very angry with him. He didn’t stop playing with the mobile phone until his arms got injured.

Yang Ling, a doctor, says that if someone uses his mobile phone too much, like Zhou Yan, he might get “mobile phone disease”. If teenagers find their arms or fingers hurt, they should go to see a doctor as soon as possible. Yang Ling said students should try to use their mobile phones less, especially at school.

It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop     45     (think) about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed     46     (score) that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really     47     (worry) that his coach might kick     48     (he) off the team.

As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s     49     (feel) were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.

“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard     50     yourself.”

“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll probably never let me play again.”

“Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”

Peter didn’t say     51    , but what his father said made him think     52     (careful).

The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in the hear.

“Hey, guys, “he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to     53     (win) that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.”

To his surprise and relief, his teammates all     54     (nod) in agreement.
